A word from chapter member Marty Heller:
EAA 186 has been invited back to display at Joint Base Andrews Open House (KADW). For 2015, the event is a day shorter and held on Fri/Sat, Sep 18th and 19th. It’s a great opportunity for aviation enthusiasts (and ordinary people) to see a free, local airshow (including the USAF Thunderbirds) and static displays of military aviation and ground equipment. An estimated crowd of 180,000 attended Andrews last Joint Service Open House (in 2012 – before budget cuts eliminated the 2013 & 2014 shows).
Let me know if you have questions or want to help. We do need people to bring out/return supplies that won’t fit in our airplanes. This includes: 20 orange traffic cones, ropes, and stakes, along with some shade booths from the chapter house. Be part of a great weekend. For more info, or to volunteer, reach me at: airmarty2@gmail.com or 703-732-3264.

In honor of the 70th Anniversary of VE Day (Victory in Europe),
From the Arsenal of Democracy Flyover:
The Arsenal of Democracy World War II Victory Capitol Flyover will include 15 historically sequenced warbird formations traveling across our nation’s capital—from the Lincoln Memorial to the Capitol. The Flyover will feature over 70 warbirds [ED: including EAA’s B-17 – Aluminum Overcast!] representing the major battles of World War II, from Pearl Harbor to D-Day, ending with a final Missing Man Formation to “Taps.” Never before has such a collection of WWII aircraft been assembled at one location—a fitting tribute to the men and women at home and abroad responsible for this Victory in 1945. The Flyover is set to start at 12:10 p.m. and last approximately 40 minutes.
From Warbirds News:
As part of a thrilling three-day celebration in the nation’s capital, the May 8 event will coincide with a ceremony for veterans at the World War II National Memorial, followed by a vast assortment of World War II aircraft flying overhead in historically sequenced warbird formations. The formations will represent the War’s major battles, from Pearl Harbor through the final air assault on Japan, and conclude with a missing man formation to “Taps.”The event will also be commemorated in a special May issue of Air & Space magazine dedicated to the airplanes and airmen who fought in World War II that will feature historic “spotter cards” of the aircraft. These cards will be used by students and others to identify the aircraft in the flyover and to learn more about the history of World War II.
NOTE: Many of the aircraft participating in this historic event will be based at Manassas Regional Airport, including our own B-17 — Aluminum Overcast. 20150508T12000020150508T130000Washington, DC0WW II Arsenal of Democracy DC Flyoverthumbnail;http://eaa186.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/b17_aluminum_overcast-1024x683.jpg;600;401,medium;http://eaa186.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/b17_aluminum_overcast-1024x683.jpg;600;401,large;http://eaa186.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/b17_aluminum_overcast-1024x683.jpg;600;401,full;http://eaa186.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/b17_aluminum_overcast-1024x683.jpg;600;401ai1ec-1798@eaa186.org20171214T022817ZEventsThe EAA Aluminum Overcast is more than just an airplane. It is a traveling museum and a connection to the past, the “greatest generation” who built and served heroically on these magnificent warbirds.

So if you’ve ever wanted to take a ride on that magnificent aircraft, this will be your once-in-a-lifetime chance to fly in an authentic World War II B-17 bomber, EAA’s beautifully restored B-17G Flying Fortress Aluminum Overcast.
Each flight experience is approximately one hour, of which about 24 minutes will be in the air. Once the B-17 is airborne, you will be allowed to walk about the bomber. Take time to visit the various compartments of the aircraft and feel what conditions may have been like for those bravely serving in World War II.

When Danny mentioned that they wanted some future meetings at peoples build-locales, I took him up on the offer and we now have a date! On May 23 (Memorial Day weekend) the chapter meeting will be at Techshop in Arlington, VA. This is where I have been building my Thatcher CX5 for the past 8 months (360 hours on the build log).
Techshop is a membership-based workshop with machining, woodworking, textile and other fabrication areas (go to www.techshop.com for more info). The equipment there has allowed me to fabricate quality parts quickly. I will share build stories, problems encountered and the solutions I found.
Techshop is in the Crystal City area, 2110-B Crystal Dr, Arlington, VA. There are several underground garages that offer free public parking on the weekend, the closest just north of Techshop on Crystal Dr. So come out to kick off summer, meeting time remains 10am. If you have questions, you can email me at capturedmotion@gmail.com. See you there.20150523T10000020150523T120000Techshop @ 2110-B Crystal Dr, Arlington, VA0May Membership Meeting – Offsiteai1ec-1836@eaa186.org20171214T022817ZEventsJames Sulton Young Eagles Coordinator; (202) 656-2833 ; james@aviationed.net20150620T09000020150620T120000EAA 186 Chapter House @ 10629 Observation Road Manassas, VA 201100Young Eagles Rally – June 20 KHEFai1ec-2024@eaa186.org20171214T022817ZEventsSande Miller-Long; 248-756-8047; vicepresident@eaa186.orgNOTE: Due to the forecast of rain, the Argentine Asado has been postponed to July 11th.

Following the customary announcements, we’ll be treated to presentations by the Prince William Composite Squadron Civil Air Patrol (CAP) and AviationEd which offers STEM Aviation programs for kids. A hotdog cookout will follow on the deck!
Civil Air Patrol
This presentation will be by our own chapter member, Tim Carey, Lt Col, CAP, PWCS Ops Officer. The Civil Air Patrol is a volunteer organization, but takes its cadet program very seriously. CAP offers specialized training for adults who train youth in leadership, aerospace education, physical fitness, character development, and special activities.
“The mission of CAP is three fold: emergency services such as search and rescue disaster relief, homeland security and other humanitarian missions; a cadet program designed to provide our youth with character development and leadership opportunities; and the nation’s leading aerospace education program for the public and especially our school children, which gets our students enthusiastic about science, technology, engineering, and math.”
Tim Carey, retired United States Air Force pilot and aviation enthusiast, was born in Honolulu and raised in Los Angeles and Long Beach, Calif., Carey spent 30 years active duty in the U.S. Air Force, first as a cadet and then in commissioned service as a pilot and fighter staff officer. After pilot training, he wanted combat experience, and volunteered for duty as a forward air controller in Vietnam. Carey flew 240 combat missions, and for his heroic efforts was presented Vietnamese Crosses of Gallantry with Silver Star and Bronze Star by Vietnamese General Officers; two U.S. Distinguished Flying Crosses, and 15 Air Medals.
After his second retirement from Northrop Grumman, and 13 years out of the cockpit, Carey wanted to get back to his aviation roots and do something useful. He became a civilian flight instructor at Manassas Regional Airport, and also joined the Civil Air Patrol (CAP), a congressionally chartered, federally supported, non-profit corporation that serves as the official civilian auxiliary to the United States Air Force.
Tim is also a member of EAA Chapter 186 and a Young Eagle pilot who has flown many youngsters in his colorful Harmon Rocket.
EAA 1099 Aviation Center of Excellence (ACE) PROJECT
Chapter 186 is pleased and excited to welcome Stephanie Johnson from EAA Chapter 1099 to our meeting to speak about the concept, scope, and progress of their new ACE project.
What is ACE? As EAA members and general aviation ambassadors, Chapter 1099 wants to create a welcoming space at Stafford Regional Airport that invites and connects families to the airport. They envision ACE as a means to reverse the trend of disconnect to general aviation and reach out in a fun, educational, and interactive way. Their goal is to create an enjoyable setting where children play and learn while they and their families watch and listen to planes using the runway just a few hundred feet away. Chapter 1099 thinks ACE is a great opportunity to achieve positive benefit for aviation, the community, and for the next generation of STEM enthusiasts and we agree!20150822T10000020150822T120000EAA 186 Chapter House @ 10629 Observation Road Manassas, VA 201100August Membership Meetingthumbnail;http://eaa186.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/VAwoundewar_95F9E6EE167E6.jpg;349;237,medium;http://eaa186.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/VAwoundewar_95F9E6EE167E6.jpg;349;237,large;http://eaa186.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/VAwoundewar_95F9E6EE167E6.jpg;349;237,full;http://eaa186.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/VAwoundewar_95F9E6EE167E6.jpg;349;237ai1ec-1850@eaa186.org20171214T022817ZEventsJames Sulton; (202) 656-2833; james@aviationed.net

• Black Olives
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• Black Beans
• Green Onions

12:00 — BBQ on the Deck (weather permitting)
EAA Chapter 186 is pleased to kick off the new year with Rear Admiral Shumaker as the speaker at our January 23rd Membership Meeting. He will speaking on “Reflections on Homebuilding (and other war stories)”.
Rear Admiral Shumaker graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1956 and subsequently earned two masters degrees and a doctorate. After flight training, he flew the F-8 Crusader, but was unfortunately shot down on a mission over North Vietnam in February 1965. He was held as a POW in Hanoi for eight years. Commander Shumaker originated the name “Hanoi Hilton” for the prison. The famous name was the ultimate in satire since the prisoners were tortured, starved and insulted rather than treated with hospitality. He is held in high regard by his fellow POW’s for his resistance, leadership and communication skills during imprisonment.
He went on to serve as a major project manager for precision guided munitions, as superintendent of the Naval Postgraduate School, and as a research coordinator at the Pentagon. His civilian career included jobs at George Washington University and the University of North Dakota.
His passion for aviation resulted in a homebuilt airplane which he and his wife have flown to such faraway places as Alaska. From 1998 to 1999 he served as president of EAA Chapter 186.
Rear Admiral Shumaker continues to inspire many with his message of courage, perseverance and determination. His military decorations include the Distinguished Service Medal, two Silver Stars, four Legions of Merit, the Distinguished Flying Cross, a Bronze Star, and two Purple Hearts. In 2011, he was presented with the Distinguished Graduate Award from the U. S. Naval Academy.20160123T10000020160123T120000EAA 186 Chapter House @ 10629 Observation Road Manassas, VA 201100CANCELLED – January Membership Meetingthumbnail;http://eaa186.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Robert_Harper_Shumaker.jpg;220;277,medium;http://eaa186.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Robert_Harper_Shumaker.jpg;220;277,large;http://eaa186.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Robert_Harper_Shumaker.jpg;220;277,full;http://eaa186.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Robert_Harper_Shumaker.jpg;220;277ai1ec-2575@eaa186.org20171214T022817ZEventsSande Miller-Long; 248-756-8047; vicepresident@eaa186.orgPlease plan to join us on Saturday January 20th at from 9:00 to 11:00 for donuts and coffee in the chapter house.

“What a young a pilot and meteorologist sees when he looks out the window and what he considers before a flight.

Building the RV 12 airplane! Glenn Shields’ RV12 is under construction but may fly this summer. Fellow chapter member Dennis Crider is also building an RV12 – his is a bit further along. Their presentation will be about their experiences building these airplanes at home in their garages.
Dennis Crider is an aerospace engineer who got his pilot’s license at Benton Kansas in 1980 while working for Beech Aircraft where he was first exposed to homebuilt aircraft and the EAA. After working for Douglas Aircraft he returned to Virginia in 1995 to work for the NTSB where he currently serves as Chief Technical Advisor for Vehicle Simulation. Like many, he suspended flying activities and aircraft building ambitions to raise a family but started building his RV-12 in 2010. His son Andrew is also a pilot and is very anxious to have the RV-12 available anytime the flying urge strikes.
Glenn Shields learned to fly in a Piper J-3 Cub at Laytonsville Airport (W50) in 1978 using just a compass, map and watch for navigation and hand propping the engine as the Cub has no electrical system. Back then the airspace around Washington was much simpler so his biggest concern during cross country flights was that the map didn’t blow out the window. Flying a Cub with the window and door open is a lot of fun!
Soon after earning his Private certificate Glenn joined a small flying club flying Cessna 150’s at Manassas. Unfortunately a few years later the club folded but he was hooked on flying clubs so in 1982 Glenn joined a member owned flying club at Leesburg – Continental Aviation Club. Now some many years later Glenn is president of this Club which owns a Beech Sundowner and over the years has earned his Instrument, Commercial and Advance Ground Instructor ratings. His log books show over 2500 hours as PIC including 3 coast to coast flights in the Sundowner and other trips tracing the route of the TransContinental Railroad and Lewis & Clark.
About 2 years ago Glenn took the next step in his flying “career” buying a partially completed RV12 from the widow of the deceased builder found in an ad he saw on Barnstormers. Thru our EAA Chapter Glenn met Dennis Crider who lives not far from him and is also building a RV12. He and Dennis will share their experience of building their airplanes at home in their garage. 20160528T10000020160528T120000EAA 186 Chapter House @ 10629 Observation Road Manassas, VA 201100May 28 Membership Meetingfreethumbnail;http://eaa186.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/GS-IMG_0459-300x225.jpg;300;225,medium;http://eaa186.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/GS-IMG_0459-300x225.jpg;300;225,large;http://eaa186.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/GS-IMG_0459-300x225.jpg;300;225,full;http://eaa186.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/GS-IMG_0459-300x225.jpg;300;225ai1ec-820@eaa186.org20171214T022817ZEventsPaul Schafer; 703-426-2892; paul.g.schafer@gmail.comFrederick County D.A.R.E.

EAA Chapter 186 is pleased to announce Rear Admiral Shumaker as the speaker at our August Membership Meeting. He will speaking on “Reflections on Homebuilding (and other war stories)”.
Rear Admiral Shumaker graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1956 and subsequently earned two masters degrees and a doctorate. After flight training, he flew the F-8 Crusader, but was unfortunately shot down on a mission over North Vietnam in February 1965. He was held as a POW in Hanoi for eight years. Commander Shumaker originated the name “Hanoi Hilton” for the prison. The famous name was the ultimate in satire since the prisoners were tortured, starved and insulted rather than treated with hospitality. He is held in high regard by his fellow POW’s for his resistance, leadership and communication skills during imprisonment.
He went on to serve as a major project manager for precision guided munitions, as superintendent of the Naval Postgraduate School, and as a research coordinator at the Pentagon. His civilian career included jobs at George Washington University and the University of North Dakota.
His passion for aviation resulted in a homebuilt airplane which he and his wife have flown to such faraway places as Alaska. From 1998 to 1999 he served as president of EAA Chapter 186.
Rear Admiral Shumaker continues to inspire many with his message of courage, perseverance and determination. His military decorations include the Distinguished Service Medal, two Silver Stars, four Legions of Merit, the Distinguished Flying Cross, a Bronze Star, and two Purple Hearts. In 2011, he was presented with the Distinguished Graduate Award from the U. S. Naval Academy.20160827T10000020160827T140000EAA 186 Chapter House @ 10629 Observation Road Manassas, VA 201100August Membership Meetingfreethumbnail;http://eaa186.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Robert_Harper_Shumaker.jpg;220;277,medium;http://eaa186.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Robert_Harper_Shumaker.jpg;220;277,large;http://eaa186.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Robert_Harper_Shumaker.jpg;220;277,full;http://eaa186.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Robert_Harper_Shumaker.jpg;220;277ai1ec-3286@eaa186.org20171214T022817ZEventsSande Miller-Long; 248-756-8047; vicepresident@eaa186.orgJack Strange, FAA Washington DC FSDO, will speak at our general membership meeting on Sept 17, 2016 about the Light Sport Aircraft pilot certification. 20160917T10000020160917T120000EAA 186 Chapter House @ 10629 Observation Road Manassas, VA 201100September Membership Meetingfreeai1ec-3186@eaa186.org20171214T022817ZEventsSande Miller-Long; 248-756-8047; vicepresident@eaa186.orgEAA Chapter 186 Wings Over Manassas is an exciting day of FREE aviation activities for kids!

Mark your calendars: EAA Chapter 186 will host both Aluminum Overcast, the EAA’s beautifully restored WWII B-17, and a 1929 Ford Tri-Motor – a prime example of the first commercial airliner – at Manassas Regional Airport October 20-23, 2016. Plan on taking a ride, or just come out to watch them fly and take a ground tour to enjoy a visceral, up close and personal experience of history! Online pre-booking at reduced rates for flights on both planes will be available through the EAA website by May 7, 2016. Both planes will do media flights on Thursday, October 20. Public flights will start that same day for the Tri-Motor, but the B-17 won’t open to the public until Friday, October 21.
The Tri-Motor flight experience lasts for about 30 minutes, with the flight itself being about 15-20 minutes long. The “Tin Goose” is a bargain at $75 ($70 if booked in advance online) for adults and $50 for kids 17 and under, and vividly demonstrates how much air travel has changed from the days when these planes represented the height of class and elegance! Passengers remain belted in for the duration of the flight, but every seat is a window seat.
Flights on the much bigger, heavier, and more powerful B-17 are more expensive at $435 for EAA members and $475 for non-members ($409 and $449 respectively, if purchased online in advance), but they are unique because passengers are buckled in only for takeoff and landing. The full experience lasts for about an hour, with the flight itself lasting about 25-30 minutes. As soon as the plane is airborne, the crew chief gives the signal for passengers to get up and move around; mobility permitting, passengers get to rove freely throughout the plane, with everyone getting a few minutes in the bombardier’s seat in that glass nose, being able to watch the pilots in the cockpit, walking through the bomb bay to visit the radio room, and stepping over and around the ball turret in the belly to take pictures in the waist with her twin 50-caliber machine guns. The only places people can’t go are into the ball and tail turrets – which would be too tight for most modern people to fit into, anyway!
EAA’s B-17 was built at the very end of the war, coming off the line at the Lockheed Vega plant in Burbank, CA on May 18, 1945, so she never saw combat, but she worked hard to earn her keep in the years after the war. Her many careers included life as a cargo hauler carrying beef from Florida to Puerto Rico from 1947-1949; as a high-altitude aerial mapping platform in the Middle East and Near East, logging time over Libya, Iran, Egypt, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, and more from 1949-1962; and even as a bug bomber operating out of Dothan, Alabama against fire ants from 1967-1976. Intending to fly her around the world, warbird enthusiast Dr. William Harrison bought her in 1978 and gave her the Aluminum Overcast name, but the real cost of restoring and operating her prompted Harrison and his partners to donate her to EAA in 1981. Restored to a WWII military configuration with the financial support of the 398th Bomb Group Memorial Association, she began her current mission of touring the U.S. as a flying history museum in 1994.
As October draws closer, Chapter 186 will be recruiting volunteers to help with the tour. Watch for future announcements!

Many pilots are now flying with tablets to provide easy access to current charts and approach plates. By using commercial hardware and open source software, it has now become easy and affordable to have a portable ADS-B receiver in the cockpit that enables the tablet to show current weather, NOTAM, TFR, and limited traffic data. This device is known as the Stratux. During this presentation, Jason will cover what’s required to assemble the device, and show how easy it is to do.
About Jason Fine: Jason holds a commercial instrument single and multi-engine rating. His “day job” is as a Project Engineer for Aurora Flight Sciences right here at KHEF.

Alas, we must cancel the special B-17 history presentation that was scheduled at the Chapter House for 7:00-9:00 PM Tuesday evening, September 26, 2017. Hurricane Irma scored a direct hit on Naples, FL with 142 mph winds, and Naples is the home of Tom Ewing, one of our B-17 pilots. Tom and his family are all fine, but his house sustained damage when windows blew out, and word from the airport – which Tom still hasn’t been able to reach and inspect in person, given the flooding, power outages, and road closures – is that part of his hangar collapsed. As I write this, the status of his two beautiful airplanes remains unknown.
Needless to say, Tom will not be flying the B-17 on tour for a while as he picks up the pieces, so he won’t be in Manassas to present his talk. He sent his abject apologies for canceling on us, and I told him not to worry about us!
Oshkosh has already juggled pilot schedules to cover the tour. Another of our pilots, Shawn Knickerbocker, is also based in Florida, but his damages were limited to downed branches, so he’ll be on-site as expected with John Bode. Sean Elliott from HQ will be replacing Tom on the inbound leg. Finally, I promise to share any news from Tom! In the meantime, send good thoughts south …
Tom Ewing (left)How much do you actually know about the history of the B-17 in WWII? Would you like to learn more, especially to answer visitor questions during the visit of Aluminum Overcast on September 29-October 1, 2017? Never fear: we’ve got your back! Incoming EAA B-17 pilot Tom Ewing will present a very special talk and slideshow on the history of the B-17 at the EAA Chapter House on Tuesday, September 26, 2017, from 7:00 to 9:00 PM. Come and learn!
All are welcome; just let us register here if you plan to attend, so we can ensure the audience doesn’t exceed our physical capacity.
Tom is a great speaker with a passion for aviation and history. He flew for UPS from February 1980 until he retired in June 2015 – but he’s anything but retiring! In addition to touring with EAA’s B-17, he owns and flies a gorgeous Christen Eagle 540 and a Mustang M-1 he built from plans; he also restores vintage motorcycles. He and his wife Angel live in Naples, FL.20170926T19000020170926T210000EAA 186 Chapter House @ 10629 Observation Road Manassas, VA 201100CANCELLED: B-17 History Presentation by EAA B-17 pilot Tom Ewingfreethumbnail;http://eaa186.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/1549392_648169618572979_1184926689_n-300x169.jpg;300;169,medium;http://eaa186.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/1549392_648169618572979_1184926689_n-300x169.jpg;300;169,large;http://eaa186.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/1549392_648169618572979_1184926689_n-300x169.jpg;300;169,full;http://eaa186.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/1549392_648169618572979_1184926689_n-300x169.jpg;300;169ai1ec-3699@eaa186.org20171214T022817ZEventsMary Dominiak; 703-303-5323; mary@bardicvoice.comJoin the Flight: The EAA B-17 Aluminum Overcast is Coming to Manassas!
Mark your calendars: EAA Chapter 186 will host the Aluminum Overcast, the EAA’s beautifully restored WWII B-17 at Manassas Regional Airport Sep 28 to Oct 1, 2017. Plan on taking a ride, or just come out to watch her fly and take a ground tour to enjoy a visceral, up close and personal experience of history! Online pre-booking at reduced rates will be available through the EAA website soon.
Flights on the B-17 are $435 for EAA members and $475 for non-members ($409 and $449 respectively, if purchased online in advance), and are unique because passengers are buckled in only for takeoff and landing. The full experience lasts for about an hour, with the flight itself lasting about 25-30 minutes. As soon as the plane is airborne, the crew chief gives the signal for passengers to get up and move around; mobility permitting, passengers get to rove freely throughout the plane, with everyone getting a few minutes in the bombardier’s seat in that glass nose, being able to watch the pilots in the cockpit, walking through the bomb bay to visit the radio room, and stepping over and around the ball turret in the belly to take pictures in the waist with her twin 50-caliber machine guns. The only places people can’t go are into the ball and tail turrets – which would be too tight for most modern people to fit into, anyway!
EAA’s B-17 was built at the very end of the war, coming off the line at the Lockheed Vega plant in Burbank, CA on May 18, 1945, so she never saw combat, but she worked hard to earn her keep in the years after the war. Her many careers included life as a cargo hauler carrying beef from Florida to Puerto Rico from 1947-1949; as a high-altitude aerial mapping platform in the Middle East and Near East, logging time over Libya, Iran, Egypt, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, and more from 1949-1962; and even as a bug bomber operating out of Dothan, Alabama against fire ants from 1967-1976. Intending to fly her around the world, warbird enthusiast Dr. William Harrison bought her in 1978 and gave her the Aluminum Overcast name, but the real cost of restoring and operating her prompted Harrison and his partners to donate her to EAA in 1981. Restored to a WWII military configuration with the financial support of the 398th Bomb Group Memorial Association, she began her current mission of touring the U.S. as a flying history museum in 1994.

PROGRAM: On July 25, 2010, Arnold Ebneter flew across the country in a plane he designed and built himself, setting an aviation world record for aircraft of its class. He was eighty-two at the time and the flight represented the culmination of a dream he’d cultivated since his childhood in the 1930s. Eileen Bjorkman–herself a pilot and aeronautical engineer–frames her father’s journey from teenage airplane enthusiast to Air Force pilot and Boeing engineer in the context of the rise, near extermination, and ongoing interest in homebuilt aircraft in the United States.
Eileen Bjorkman is a writer, pilot, and retired U.S. Air Force flight test engineer. She holds an Airline Transport Pilot rating and is a Certificated Flight Instructor with 2,000 hours of flying time. Her specialties are aerobatics and tailwheel flying, and she has a 2003 Super Decathlon that she owns in partnership with two other people.
In addition to her civilian pilot time, Eileen was a flight test engineer in the USAF, where she flew more than 700 hours in 25 different types of military aircraft, primarily the F-4, F-16, C-130, and C-141. She retired from the Air Force in 2010 as a colonel. She has both MS and BS degrees in Aeronautical Engineering from the Air Force Institute of Technology in Ohio, and a BS in Computer Science from the University of Washington in Seattle. She also has a PhD in Systems Engineering from The George Washington University in Washington, DC.
She has had articles in Air & Space/Smithsonian, Aviation History, Sport Aviation, the Everett Daily Herald, the Herald Business Journal, and a wide variety of technical journals.
